To become an investment banker, what would be the better degree- accounting and finance or economics?

Just to verify, accounting and finance is one degree not two.

Without hesitation, the Accounting / Finance degree. My economics classes in my MBA were interesting but certainly not as worthwhile in the long run as my accounting and finance classes were.

If I had it to do over, I would have my undergraduate degree in accounting (not general business) and my graduate degree would have a concentration in Finance. An MBA and MAcc go a long way in today's society.

Best of Luck!

I dont think you need Economics, but finance and accounting is a must.

yeah u don't need economics. it might be good to minor in though

accounting is more broad and covers more career areas

finance is more specialized and my restrict you options if you switch to another career
